* Want to change meeting invitations to personal ones via Google Calendar instead of the Mailing List - will hopefully also help to track meeting attendance

** New members don't know what "being active" means... mentoring new AC members? Guiding them on how to get active? How does the AC work? - '''AI Georg''' write down E-mail: AC from perspective of a new member

** Who does still not know about the requirement to track 3rd party lib dependencies by a CQ? (Last one in [http://www.eclipse.org/projects/dev_process/ip-process-in-cartoons.php The IP Process in 8 cartoons])?

** General recommendations: (e.g. avoid synchronous callbacks, avoid in Activator.start(), static initializers or Singleton getters) - a general recommendation could be to avoid performing work at unpredictable times, but that would recommend against lazy initialization in general

** Does anybody have a well-working, consistent model on top of the current infrastructure?

** '''Integrated bug reporting''': Mylyn is providing a bug/error/enhancement reporting facility that will provide a flexible and product-configurable mapping between features, bundles and bug trackers {{bug|212209}} (Example: http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/8/86/Mylyn-Bug-Reporting-Example.jpg ). Do we want this for Galileo?

* (''until next mtg'') '''Mik''' to create initial "architectural walkthrough" material for mylyn. One more to follow before publicly announcing?

* (''old'') '''Michael''' to draft an E-Mail about the "plugin granularity" idea, searching for people to lead the effort

How the AC Works

Been disappointed by lack of participation in recent initiatives (action items).

With such a large group, just sitting at the phone meeting is not what counts. The monthly phone meeting is mostly a reminder for action items, inspiration for new things through live discussion, aggregation of information, and a fast resolve issues of disagreement.

All other work needs to be offline. Use this as an encouragement for people to still participate even if they can't join the phone call.

What really counts is involvement in E-Mail / Bugzilla discussions, engagement in the action items, and pro-active finding, articulating and tracking potential improvements to Eclipse as a Whole.
